Executives Considering Calling Offshore Operations
Back

The executives are considering bringing the positions
closer to home due to problems associated with travel
costs, infrastructure, knowledge transfer,turnover, security, quality and cultural issues, and
declining morale with employees at home.
Nearly half (45%) of the CEOs, CFOs and CTOs polled want a
US-based alternative to offshoring, according to the report
Outsourcing IT: Over Here vs. Over There – The Promise and
Perils by Aelera Corp.

The report also shows while executives expected 30 to
40% savings from low offshore laborrates, actual savings ranged from -20 to 20%.
Additionally, a
pproximately one in 10 projects were reported to cost
more offshore than domestically.

Nearly three-quarters of respondents were from companies
larger than $100 million in annual revenue and more than
25% of respondents were from companies larger than $1
billion in annual revenue. A summary of the report is
